Blimey! Thanks!

There exists a function call 'getAbsolutePosition' that retrieves the ACTUAL 3d vector of a scene node if it is connected to a parent node. As in 'getPosition' would only get the 3d vector position offset from the parent. Well, how does one retrive the absolute rotation?

Mixed wires with concepts of help. My fault. Apologies to the offended. Thanks for the contributions.

Ha! Thanks anyway ObiWan!

Go on then...

Not really.
So you're saying NO then there isn't a quick or simple function?

Is there a quick or simple way for validating whether or not a created scene node pointer i still in the scene manager list or draw? As in to pass a pointer to a function etc?

Thanks

Arrrrrrrrrr but with most, better late than never eh!

You have to draw the line before the 'endscene' but after the 'drawall'

More crytics answers, it's like asking a politician! No worries, sorted it out myself. Thanks anyway for the help.

I'll take that as a 'no one knows' how to do this then?

I see moved from advanced help. Power trippin' boys. Can't stop the rouge sex poster though eh?

Haven't done anything yet, but that is what I wanted to do. Just don't know how to go about it at all. A small code example would be fantastic?!?!?

How do I draw a 3d line from a scene node ( obviously from it's center position that could be offset via a parent ) to the movement of the cursor ( a 2D coordinate system ) on the screen???? As in knowing the scene nodes 3D vector ( currently static ) and have a line drawn on screen to the moving mo...

I had a friend convert it to 3ds from max for me as I didn't have a package capable of doing it correctly. I think he used maya in the end, but it loaded great yes. Sorry if this is not help.
